Off grid solar energy systems in Burkina Faso
Burkina Faso Offgrid Solar Energy Systems.jpg

Burkina Faso faces significant challenges in rural electrification and sustainable energy access, particularly in agro-industrial sectors where energy use is critical for processing operations. In many regions, access to affordable, reliable energy is limited, driving dependence on diesel-powered systems and traditional energy sources like firewood. This project introduces a community solar energy platform for agro-industrial cooperatives, aiming to improve access to sustainable energy, reduce greenhouse gas emissions, and enhance the resilience of the agricultural sector to climate impacts
